Observe and Report


I have to say this almost played out like 'Hot Fuzz' to me.. Do not get me wrong, 'Hot Fuzz' is greater than this hands down.. Ok.. Maybe that is a somewhat bad comparison because I loved 'Hot Fuzz' all the way through.. BUT technically they both sort of led to a crazy finish.. With this movie you sort of just get through it.. A laugh or three here and there.. Rogen being all adorably losery.. I really wasn't expecting too much else near the end. It felt like it was just about to end.. Then *BAM* crazy scene in the mall. I seriously sat on the edge of the sofa cackling hysterically and cringing slightly sometimes. Sort of a sleeper of a film with a solidly funny ending. I can handle movies like this from time to time!

Crank 2: High Voltage


This was actually my second viewing of the film. It is so crazy and over the top that I cannot even help myself to not like it. I think it is great. That and I haven't seen a Statham movie I didn't like. Maybe because he is involved, who knows. Maybe because he is usually playing the same character just with a little tweak here and there. Or maybe because he is one of the only people allowed to make these really random movies and not have people dislike him. I just hope that crazy youngsters don't try any of his 'high voltage' tricks...

Wolverine


Is it safe to just say 'meh'? I was really pumped because Ryan Reynolds was in it. Not just to look at.. But because his character in this film was similar to the one in Blade: Trinity. AKA comic relief is an otherwise unfunny movie. (I was going to comic-less.. But.. Well, if no one else gets that than I am obviously extremely lame).. Then he 'dies'. Oh.. And Will.I.Am is in this movie. Thankfully not singing any lame number one hits.. I am also thankful he was so predictable. That is all I am saying. Another thing that was disappointing was how fake everything looked. Especially the blades. Anyways.. CGI and such has come such a far way. If you're going to use them in a movie, maybe make a solid effort? Just my opinion. I didn't dislike this movie nor did I like it. Hence the meh.

The Final Destination 3D

Before I discuss this movie.. I just need to toss this out there.. I am taking a break from 'lyrics'. I currently do not posess any creativity. I would seriously pay money to buy some if I could. I am out of stock. Hopefully that will return someday.

Now on to this hurtin' movie. WHAT THE EFF?! Ok. Tis the time in life for movies to go 3D as it is just so hot right now. Who wouldn't want to see cool death scenes in 3D. Huh.. you know.. We haven't had a final destination movie in awhile.. Why not give us some cool death scenes in 3D. Honestly, I do not think it would be that hard. I was certainly wrong. The acting was horrible (not that I would expect much more from a "horror" film), the plot was well, what all FD movies are, the imagery was awful. Pretty much a barffest. The only cool 3D action was during a pool scene when I had to mentally tell myself to not raise my arm in the air to touch a floating bandaid. True story. To be honest, the 3D previews were better. I am seriously probably one of the biggest fans of the FD franchise, and I was majorly disappointed. Ah well, they got their $13 from me. BUT. I don't recycle my 3D glasses. Win for me!
